Programs

Our raptor center and natural history museum (with over 200 specimens) are open year round, where general admission covers a self-guided tour. In addition to our daily on-site programs, we offer guided tours for small groups, on-site and off-site programs for larger groups, and virtual programs.
$247,453 spent$306,316 earned by the program90% of program spendingWhat is the American Bald Eagle internship program? Every summer/fall we host an internship program that accepts two to six individuals from across the country. Interns have the opportunity to learn about raptors and the natural history of southeast Alaska. this internship is for anyone who seeks a career working with wildlife and/or in conservation education. We offer hands-on experience in animal behavior, animal handling, avian enrichment, public speaking, community outreach and collaboration, and a possibility for some research. Depending on prior experience and skill level, interns will learn how to train raptors via operant conditioning: positive reinforcement training. Interns also engage guests of all ages through natural history programs. They will learn about the many species of animals that occupy southeast Alaska and they may have a chance to collect data with a local researcher in the area.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $2.8M to $2.1M (−25%).

Government-grant reliance: 2017 10% · 2018 3% · 2019 0% · 2020 20% · 2021 66% · 2023 0% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
49% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund AMERICAN BALD EAGLE FOUNDATION HAINES CHAPTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 70% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 98% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
